Web Therapy (TV Series)

TV Series (2011-2015). 4 Seasons. 43 Episodes. Fiona Wallice, is a therapist who has conceived of a new form of therapy: the titular "web therapy." In her estimation, the traditional "50 minute hour" version of therapy gives people too much leeway to talk about irrelevant things. By dramatically shortening session time, she hopes to get results more quickly. Her sessions take place via webcam over the internet using Apple Inc.'s iChat. They are taped in the hope of attracting investors into promoting her new technique as a worldwide therapy option. The TV series will also feature more of Fiona's personal life instead of just her patients sessions, which introduces Lily Tomlin as Putsy Hodge, Fiona's proper, upper crust mother who is having money troubles. She thinks Web Therapy is a ridiculous waste of time and an embarrassment, and she lets Fiona know it in no uncertain terms, and Victor Garber as Kip Wallice, Fiona's long-suffering husband, who is also her attorney.
